Ashouri said that refineries which are responsible for supplying domestic fuel needs and the feed for lower industries have been working in three shifts to keep pace with the increasing demands.
However, he added that they have given proposals to the new administration in Iran to set up mechanisms to manage consumption so that there wouldn’t be need to fuel import in the future.
Iran’s refinery industry produces over 100 million liters of petrol in an annual basis, but the non-optimized consumption pattern leads to consumption of over 90 million liters in the country, according to Ashouri.
He also noted that Iran’s domestic capacity in this area is in a position that continuance of US sanctions would have no impact on it, but the need for future planning is necessary for the years to come.
